Safari Game Drives
Your window into the wild heart of Tanzania
A game drive is your window into the wild heart of Tanzania, a chance to traverse open plains, follow fresh animal tracks, and witness extraordinary moments in nature. Guided by experienced guides in specially designed 4×4 vehicles, you’ll enjoy comfort, panoramic views, and an intimate wildlife experience with small group sizes.
The most rewarding times are often the cool hours of early morning and the golden light of late afternoon. Mornings might start with the aroma of fresh coffee as you set out, pausing mid-drive for a picnic breakfast overlooking the savannah. In the afternoons, drives flow into the magic of sunset, complete with chilled drinks, snacks, and skies ablaze in colour.
Serengeti Steppe offers private game drives, giving you the flexibility to explore at your own pace and savour every moment of the wilderness.

How long does a game drive last?
Game drives can range from a few hours to a full-day excursion with a picnic lunch. Typical drives are done in the early morning (around 6:30 am to 9:30 am) and late afternoon (around 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm) when animals are most active.
What kind of vehicle is used for game drives?
We use custom-built 4x4 vehicles, such as Toyota Land Cruisers, with pop-up roofs for better viewing and photography.
What animals can I expect to see?
You can expect to see a wide variety of animals, including the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), as well as giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and many different bird species. The specific animals you see depend on the park you visit and the time of year.
Is it safe to be on a game drive?
Game drives are very safe as long as you follow the rules and your guide's instructions. The vehicles provide a secure vantage point to observe the animals without posing a threat to them or yourself.
